Injectable Ibuprofen Approved for Treating Pain & Fever

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 1 , 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that its ibuprofen injection product, has received regulatory approval in Mexico.

The approval follows Cumberland's partnership with PiSA Farmaceutica, which includes exclusive supply and distribution rights for the ibuprofen product in the Mexican market. PiSA is a well-established Mexican pharmaceutical firm with a leading injectable business in that country. Under the agreement, Cumberland is providing regulatory and manufacturing support, while PiSA led the regulatory process and will now launch the product in Mexico.

"We are thrilled to see our injectable ibuprofen product approved for use in Mexico," said A.J. Kazimi, chief executive officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. "This milestone underscores the growing global need for effective non-opioid pain management options and the strength of our collaboration with PiSA."

Cumberland has developed a proprietary formulation of ibuprofen for intravenous delivery to manage pain and reduce fever in the hospital and surgical settings. When administered prior to surgery, the product has been shown to significantly reduce post-operative pain and decrease the need for opioid medications, helping minimize their side effects.

"We are excited to introduce this novel formulation of ibuprofen to Mexico to help treat patients' pain in the hospital and surgical settings," said Felipe De Jesus Rios Mercado, Chief Commercial Officer at PiSA. "We believe in the product's potential and are confident it will be a strong addition to our market."

PiSA plans to introduce the product in 800 mg vials, making it accessible for a variety of clinical uses in Mexican healthcare facilities. With opioid misuse continuing to pose global challenges, the introduction of the injectable ibuprofen product aligns with broader efforts to support multimodal, opioid-sparing pain management strategies.
